MSI DKA790GX Platinum Motherboard Review

"From a performance standpoint, the MSI DKA790GX performed on par with the 790FX in a stock speed scenario. Overclocking tells a different tale as the 790GX was a very good overclocker. The new SB750 South Bridge is a lot more stable in this department and for those of you looking to squeeze more out of their CPU, you will want to think about this if you’re due for a motherboard upgrade.

Sticking on the subject of overclocking, the board was very stable once we established an acceptable overclock. The board never buckled at 240FSB, and if your cooling is up for it, you can probably do a little better. Even if your overclocking goes south, the board will default back to basic settings after 4 attempts. If you feel less adventurous, you can even use theoverclocking dip switch on the motherboard itself for an easier overclock, though you’ll have more flexibility doing it through the BIOS."
